    Making a Dock stack for Office?

    Over the weekend, I clean-installed a MacOS for the first time in at least 15 years. My late-2013 iMac is now running Mojave. That's great, but only the beginning. I also clean-installed Microsoft Office 365, which was also giving me problems. Mojave installed, Office installed. Great! Now...

    Is there a way to show all open Chrome windows like on Windows OS?

    I know that I can hit Control + down/up arrow to see the different open windows/apps. This is inconvenient when using a mouse. Is there a way to see ALL open Chrome windows at once like on the Start bar/menu in Windows? I like how all open windows can be quickly seen like this...

    Thunderbolt/USB C hub recommendations for the new iMacs (2021)

    The new iMacs only have USB C ports, and my purposes include some legacy USB 3 hardware and an SD card slot. Many existing hubs/docks seem to cater to MacBooks with redundant features like: VGA/DVI output… gross, don't need that; Ethernet input, which the iMac already has built into the power...
